Guys there’s no use of ending her misery she is eating and she is starting to heal her blood is dry now And she’s Starting to heal
I hope she's still alive, but I have had good success with Blu-kote. It conceals the wound better. Red makes other birds peck. I'd separate her until she's better. We had to keep one in the bathroom for a few weeks. We set up a makeshift Brooder for her and gave her attention.
I used antibiotics and sprinkled on her wounds she’s okay now
 
How is your Silkie?

You don't have to have fancy supplies to treat wounds.
First you need to gather up your hen and access her wounds.
Warm water with a little mild soap can be used to clean most wounds on the body if you don't have an antiseptic for wounds. For the head, I would take care and use warm water with a bit of salt dissolved in it. Your goal is to help rinse away dirt and debris that may be in the wounds.
Once you get the wounds cleaned, blood washed away and the feathers trimmed a little, you can tell more about the damage.
What do you have for putting on the wounds? Do you have any triple antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or store brand? Vetericyn spray? Do you have any Iodine? Coconut oil? Vaseline? Honey? Sugar?
Help us out by giving us some info about the supplies you do have and we can help you figure out what to use to treat injuries. There's always a way.

Hydration first. Always give fluids, then if she's drinking, add wet feed. Warmed sugar water is good to give or you have them electrolytes.

You can place her in crate, tote or box lined with an old towel or put some clean straw or shavings in there, something to give her a bit of cushion. Put her box where she will be out of the weather and where the cats can't mess with her. Do you have a corner of a garage, shed or outbuilding where you can put her?
She’s not in shock she can eat grains now today her blood is dry I wouldn’t wipe it it will also patch her wounds today she can eat
 
Can you post pictures?

@ChuckenWing could you ask your Parents to help you? I know this must be so distressing for you, and you sound so upset about this situation ā˜¹ļø You shouldn’t have to deal with this on your own. My advice would be to ask your parents to help, show them this thread, they can help you follow the good advice given and hopefully your hen will recover. Sending you big hugs :hugsand please update us.
Yes they told me to sprinkle antibioptics on the chickens wounds it is all dry the blood
